some Qf the others around the va1iey by peaple who a.re apparentiy h.ired by some person, and that he
doesn't know who, but that the hired people dan't knaw anything abflut fhe City operation, as they were

,Toe T'ortoreli of the Snokane Area Good Roads Assaciation, said that his Assaciatifln is advocating for
good roads in the 5pakane area; that studded tires create about $18 million annual damage to highways accQrciing to their statistics; that studded tires are an out-dated aneans Qf traction and they'd like to ban
their use as several vther states have dane. CQUncilmember 5chimmels asked Mr. Tortoreli if this drafted
letter has enough "teeth" to satisfy the Assaciatian's needs and Mr. Tortoreli respanded that it does, and
said their next approach will be to Idaho.
Dick Sehm. 36265 S Ridaevievv Rvad: as per his letter distributed at the meetxng, Mr. Behm asked
Council to give further cansideration to endorsing the elimination of the use of studded tires; he said that
he believes that studded tiers increase the safety of driVers, nat just for traction but they aid in the ability
to stop or rnaintain con'krol on ice-covered roads. He said gther winter tires, although vastly improved, do
not have that ability to stop as quickly. He said the Cities of Spakane and Spokane Va.1Iey are the
ecanomic center of a vast region serving Eastem WashiaagtQn, and Northern and Central Zdaho; and said
this area includes mountains, hills and va11eys and has severe winter condztions that create hazardous
driving conditions; he said araything that wi11 increase the safety Qf driving should be considered, and said
that studded tires are the choice af imany who liue in these areas. Further, he explained if Washingtan.

means to deerease their use, such as a public campaign andlor a tax; he said he understands that they
damage roads, but said he believes other altematives are available to decrease that damage.

use of non-studded tires, which he explained is mare of a"carrat instead af astick approach" and said he
dQesn't use studded tires, but his wife does; and he feels we need a public campaign to encourage xhe use
of non-studded tires. Councilmember Wilhite said that this letter will encourage people to exarnine
alternatives, and there is a need to let the publiG know about the damage studs do to roads. I]eputy Mayor
Denenny said that this issue has been angoing for at least the last fve years, that he feeXs the safety of
studded tires been demonstrated not to be such a great enhancement; that the new technology answers tkae

ADMYNISTRATIVE REPORTS:
4. Ener2v Efficiencv Conservation Block Grant - Marv Mav Engineering Tech May explained the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant as per her
PowerPoint presentation; she gave an overview of the Recovery Act Funding showing the City of
Spokane Valley's grant portion of $823,400 and said this grant is not competitive, all we need do is
complete the paperwork and apply; that the purpose is to spur economic growth and create/retain jobs,
and to assist government in implementing strategies to reduce fossil fuel emissions, reduce total energy
use, and improve energy efficiency in the transportation, building and other appropriate sectors; she
explained that eligible use of funds are primarily for energy efficiency and energy conservation, that this
is community-wide and not just for tnunicipal buildings and facilities, and that we don't have to do capital
projects, and can do programs. Ms. May explained that the grant application timeline is tight, with a
deadline of June 25 for the completed grant application, and said the award of the grant is expected in the
fall of 2009. Ms May also explained some of the partnering program ideas such as working with AVISTA
and other utility companies; and said the funds could be used for LED replacement in traffic signals and
street lights, or even for traffic improvements such as signal coordination; or for the creation of a bike and
pedestrian MasterPlan. According to her table, Engineer Tech May explained the proposed funding
aspects showing a breakdown of the $823,400, with $400,000 going to the Sprague Avenue traffic
improvement; $100,000 for bike and pedestrian implementation, $38,500 for bike and pedestrian master
plan, $88,000 for sustainability, and $65,000 for signal LED replacements; and other figures as shown on
the table in her PowerPoint; and explained that sustainable land use would include all those things our
comprehensive plan touches upon; and explained as part of the application process, staff will be asking
council for a letter giving the City Manager the authority to make the application. Community
Development Director McClung added that the figures in the chart were the best available numbers to
give to Council and when the grant is put together, the numbers could vary slightly.
Council discussion included mention of the long time for street light LED cost recovery; mention of the
preference of using "energy efficient and cost reduction" instead of sustainability which is difficult to
define; mention from staff of the hope to have future opportunities to partner with school districts, and/or
other municipalities, but such is not identified for this particular project; mention from Ms. McClung that
we would use existing staff on some aspects of the bike and pedestrian MasterPlan as the $128,700 was
putting a price on the cost of Public Works and Community Development's staff time to put the plan
together. There was consensus to bring this item forward on the next council agenda for motion
consideration.
Mayor Munson called for a recess at 7:15 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7:25 p.m.
5. Cable Franchise - MorLyan Koudelka
Via his PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Koudelka went over some of the cable franchise renewal facts,
explained what the city can regulate, the franchise process, the ascertainment phase, mentioned that staff
and representatives of Comcast have tentatively agreed to a draft franchise agreement, went over the
major items of that draft agreement, and explained the next steps in the process. Mr. Koudelka added that
there are still some minor points being worked out and he is hopeful to finalize the agreement within the
next few days. Councilmember Gothmann mentioned the tree trimming section on page 13 of the draft
ordinance, and asked about the land being public or private. Deputy City Attorney Driskell said he would
anticipate that refers to public land but will check. Mr. Driskell also mentioned that the new cable code
results from the tug between Comcast and the City regarding competitive equity, as they want to ensure
they are competitive with other cable providers and satellite, although the city does not deal with satellite;
and stated that they are trying to carve out as much flexibility as they could; and reiterated Mr.

6. Heariniz Examiner I"~ules - Mike Connellv .
City Attorney Cannelly gave a brief background of the adoptian of rules of proeedures for the hearing
examiner, as raoted in his June 9, Request fvr Cvuncil Action form; and said vur rules in SVIVIC 10.20
Appendix B clearly set fvrth the autharity of the Hearing Examiner; that he made two changes, one was in
the matiaaa fQr recQnsideratian as the old rule vvas va.gue a:nd didn't state the basis for a motion; and the updated version exptains that a new autcome cannot merely be rnserted as there were past occasions
where a decisian was based on grounds that neither party anticipated; and he said if there Fwere no~basis
for the motion, the matter wauld haVe to be re-opened vvith a hearing. M.r. Connelly said the proposed
rules have heen reUiewed by the Hearing Examiner, by Dur legal department, and if Cauncil now desires,
the next step wou1d be to pass thxs to the Planning Cornrnission to gQ thrvugh the process of Qbtaining
their recommendatian to CQUncil. Mr. CQnnelly mentioned that there have been so many dramatic
changes we are treating this as starting over, and the redlines are just the changes farom last week; and that
a11 wilI be presented as new. There was CQuncil consensus to mave this forward to the P1anning
Commission.
Auulewav Ne2atiatioras - Mike Connellv
City Attomey Connelly said tonight xs just an vverview of where we are and where vve're going; that
negatia.tians are ongQing as objectiues are vvorked out; he said they had come up with arr agreement when
STA (Spokane Transit authority) stepped up and said they had the funds to buy the right-of way on the
south side ❑f the street; that a list of a6jectives was presented to Council and to the Board af County -
Cammissioners who went ~ver it with their attarney; but that in the midst of all this, the Supreme Court ;
refased to hear our appeal and we receiVed no offers from the CammissiQners to rnvve ahead. Mr,
Connelly said that the resolution befare yvu is adraft to set farth the formal pracess; and if we, thc
County and the STA. all adapt similar resolutions, we can have representatives in nnediation to move
toward the common goal: we, v►aant a rvadway, a right-crf way, and want to prEServe some ability to have
some form of high speed transit same time in the future. After brief Gauncil discussion an the agreement
and the prflcess, and mention hy Attorney Cannelly that this resolutiQn attempts to define the methad af
negotiation and once approved, the City Manager wou1d appaint sameone to be engaged in such
negotiaYian, and then camrnunicate to the STA and the BDard vf Caunty Commissioners; and that the City
Manager can aftach the resvlution to a letter to the BQard of County Cummissioners asking therri to
prcrceed in this same manner. CvunciY had nv objectian and concurr=ed to bring this Resalution back next

Councilmember 5chirnmels added f1aat the SWAC cammittee sent tavv recommendations to the liaisan
board and to the Gvunty Comrrrissi4ners, and there was adifference of opinion and misunderstancling on
the word "asset," hut said a lat of people think that the City of Spvkane paid for the ather two transfer
stations, but the system paid for that; aI]Ci tI]7t waS d1SC1155eCI at the last 5WA+C meeting, but there are
same peaple on the 1iaisan board who are sidetracked and he said he doesn't think it merits any further
argument; that they should get to the meat af it on the governance issue, vve bave a metrQ, we have a nan-
prafit group; he said he believes it should 6e sornething conceived arQUnd ametro system with a jaint
voice frflm the participants; ancl said he feels that is what will happen. I?eputy Mayor Denenny explained
the functLon of the SWAC cvrnrnittee which gives recammendatiQns t4 the liaison baard and to the
commissioners, and said the Liaison Board is a policy baard fflr the entire region, and makes
recommendations to the Spokane City Council, as they are the entity autharized to operafie the plant.
Deputy Mayflr Denenny stated that xhe City of Spakane issued barids which were paid for by the
participants thraughout the regivn; that the City of Spakane claims ownershig, and the questxon that
lingers is whet'her there will be adiscussiQn that will allow the City af Spokane to participate in a region-
wide calleetion and gaverrYance of that which will be 6eneficial to alI participating currimunities; and
create new intexlacal agreements which will a11ow us to cnntinue on a regional path; and to do that, he
said he feels the +City of 5pokarie will have to sflmewhat relinquish svme of the "ownership" of that; and.
that he feels that is not the same as having a persanal "asset.,"
Tn respon~~ to Mayor Munson's mention of haWing significant cash reserves, Cauncilmember Schimmels
said he does not think that is the case; and Deputy 1Vlayor Denenny said the reserves are being quickly
absorbed. Councilmember Schimmels said that will pretty mLich be washed out; that there is acash flaw

ora the operation of the transfer plant, the vvhole system; that there has always been pros and cons between
the Caunty and anyone else that' s involved. Deputy 1Vlayor Denenny said it purpasely tried to use the
resez-ves to off-set rate increases and to diminish those reserves by the tim.e the bands are paid aff and the
interlocats run aut; and he asked Mr. Cvnneliy concerning the apparent glaring differentiation in the dates
of terminatiara of those interlocals; and he asked what kind of a pvsitivn does that put the City of Spokane
4'alley in when most of the other entities interlocals, aside from Tsi6erty Lake, wi11 be running out to 2014
and 2015; and us at 201l? Attamey +CQnneily said the bands will be paid nff by 2011; sa the reasan
beliind the agceements won't be there; and said he feels it does nat give us any advantage or disadvantage;
it's j ust t'hat we will either have to have a short term extension until all the agreements are renewed, or we
will have to rnake a decisian as to what participation 5we want to dv in vur regional system. Deputy
Mayor Denenny said he feels there will nat be a resalution for a regivnal system and a new gavernance
until the rnajarity of the interlocals are up for terminatian; and Mr. Gannelly saxd then the questiorr wil1
be, what fiype of an interlacal do we vvant to enter inta; what type af flovv cantral do vve want to agree to;
and said there are various optAOns to consider in loQk:ing at lang terrn future disposal. Mayor Munson
asked Mr. Mercier if our staff has the capability to be able to make reGam:mendations to Council to
answer same af the questimns pased by Mr. Cannelly; and Mr. Met•cier said whiie we have atalented
staff, they haue nQt applied their talents to solid waste issues becatiYSe we haVe been a tangential.
par~icipant in the arganizatifln; and said he feels specialized expertise will likely be warranted and he feels
there will likely be a callabaratiue effort as a region to ask all Qf the right questions and deter-nine the
apprapriate answers; ana in the interim while we wait for the other interlvcals to terminate, N1r. Merciex
said he recDrnmends we cantinue to prampt a11 the other rnembers, regardless of when the tertninal date
is, to address these questions priar to the retirement af the bonds in T]ecember 2011.
' Mayor Munson said he would assume that the two boards will corne up with a series af recommendatiotas;
and Deputy Mayar Denenny responded tha.t the County has asked the SWAC to whiftle it down frflm the

two they recommended; keeping in mind they a.re only recammendations; and said that the County had
asked them to whittle that down and giVe the pras and cans vf vvhat is the mvst advantageous. .
Mayor Munson asked what is the roie far the City of Spakane Va11ey to address those recommendativns;
and Cauncilrnember Schimmels said he feels we shou:ld nat da anything; that the Caunty is basically
autside looking in; that they have cvntrol Dr can choase whether to ratify the financial matters, the 1arge
amnounts; but they have nothing to do ot- say about the daily operatiQn as they gaVe that up years ago; and
he said he lovks at the two entities, the Caunty and the City af 5pflkane, as reaching a common graund.
and eVeryone else, the small cities like I]eer Park and Cheney, has their say, including us, and said if
anybvdy vuants to sell the glant or tear it down, they have a viable enterprise out there; it is well permitted
and rauell runz and it wvuld hehoove the Cox,rnty and the City of SpDkane to settle scame af their
differences; hapefully a11 of them.
Councilmember Gothmann suggested there might be twa levels af decisians to be made: the first is to
consider if we want to c9ntinue with the system; and the seeand is, if aur residents are better aff staying
with a regional system, then the next question i.s govemance; but the first question needs to be addressed
first. Councilmember Schimmels said we should task vurselves wrth th.is report; that he tallced to Mr.
Connelly, the report is cvndensed and there is a 1Qt of regetitious information because of the interlocals
and fihe changes; but to try to understand the hottam line; and he said as much as he has been around that,
he can't see we could ever afford to ga out an vur Qwn; there are the federal and the state mandated ptans
which would all haue to be initiated up-frant; and said perhaps three years would do that but he has his
doubts. Councilmernber Gothmann said he feels vvhat they should request from staff is now t,hat we have
the questian answered, that the hest deal is t4 stay regional; sa the next question then is governance; and
he asked wha will set the rates? Mr. Mercier said that he feels it is impartant that this City not tiy to
resolVe those questions independently; that Liberty L,ake and Spokane Valley agreements terminate 2011;
and ecanomically we represent 30-35% of the bulk af the trash flow; and that.choices we might make
would substantially alter the econamics for the balance of the users af the system; and therefore feels that
a.ll the entities dependent upan the disposal method shouid sfaz-t working fQgether now to answers the
questian if long-haul is the less expensive; or the regional plan, or some other vptxon as appQSed to trrying
to do an independent analysis and to act individually as opposed to callectively.
Mayoar MunsQn asked how much influence shQUld we expect to have on the negotiatians between the
County and the City of Spokane based an the fact that we are relatively large caratributors to the system;
and haw does Council interact with that negvtiativn process; is it pro-actively, or a wait and see?
Councilmember Schimmels said he estimates that within the next ninety days we shoulci have the results
fram the state auditor; we should have Qur cQntractvr on the audit af the piant; and we should have a lot of
questivns answered; then we cauld address the rest of it; but we need that faundatiion. Deputy Mayor
I)enenny and Councilmember Wilhite cancut-t-ed #hat we need the rast of the information. Deputy Mayor
Denenny alsn mentioned that there aare crngoing meetings, some of which are addressing recycling, which
as a very expensive companent of this. Mayor Munsora summarized that the answer to rraany questions
then is we need mQre data, vvhich shauld be coming in the next year, and we shauld be patient until we
receive that data. Councilmember Schimmels said Lincoln County has started an anaerobic digester in the
Fishtrap area; ancl that is basically for fvod waste initially, but that could also take the compast wh'rch we
are hauling clear to south of Yakima, Ravsevelt possibly, so there are some things happen:ing; he said that
Ian Rabertson is warking with a~'iz-rn that's a second #"irm, same comparison of a product; and he said it
gets uery complicated as there are multiple players.
Mr. Mercier saxd that as we are waiting for further infarrnation; this creates an ❑pportu.nity for our
representatives on the apprapriate bnards to press questiQns an the issue of governance and a callective
approach to answering the questions posted, so we can make same progress in that regard while waiting
for ather rnaterial,

Second Amendment to the Motion
ft was moved ►5y C'ouneilmemher Wilhite and seconded to exclude from the subarea p1an, the property
awned by Mr. Grafos, also the property next to Mr. Grafos, the musie schaol. T'here was brief discussion
on the issue of what wouid ar would not be nonconfvrming, with mention from Mr. Kuhta that if kept
under the Plan, the Grafos praperty would nat be permitted so it would he a legal noncQnfarming use, and
the music schooi would be a confarming use; and if excluded from the Plan the GrafQS praperty wvuld be
a canfvrming use. Mayar Munsan invited public camrnent no comments were offered. Cauncilmember
Taylor said he feels they should be kept in the Plan as it sets abad precedence to take particular prapex-ties
out ofthe PYan, thereby making it appear if someone dQesn't like a partiGUlar use, even though they would.
be nonconforming and grandfathere~ in, they cvuld be xemaved from the Plan because they asked. Other
councilmetnbers stated they felt it would not impact the overall plan to have the properties remvved, with
Mayor Munson adding tha~ there is no access from the Fred Meyer praperty onto these tvvo properties
which makes future develapment dif~cult. Yote by Acclarrtataan: In, f'avor: MayQr Munson, IJeputy Mayvr

Third ~Amendm+ent to the 1Vletian
It was rraoved by Deputy Mayar Denenny and seconded to am,plement the Plan nctoher 1, 2009, which.
- Deputy Mayor Denenny stated, would a1law staff time to begrn the implementation process praperly.
Mayar Munson iravated public cvm.ment. Dr. Phillia Rudv, 5647 r1 Fruithill: said he feels the soaner the
better, and compared waiting nere to a lag time involved when the County was addressing billboards,
which lag time seemed to allQw apraliferation of biliboards in the interim. After brief counci.l drscussion
on the mation, and attentivn to a specific date rather than sixty 4r niriety days, Council voted unanamously
by acclamatian to amend as no+ed.
Editorial Chanizes Noted:
Cauncilmember Ciothmann said he vvas surprised to see that $vak IIZ was ineluded, and Mr. Connelly
said it contained same development regulations and part of Boak IZZ was referenced in Boak Ix, and said rt
made sense to advpt as a cahesive unit. Councilmernber Gathmann mentioned that Appendix A to Book
III, "Starting Paint" page 1 of 5, and other areas vvYaere the text references "f gures" that the figures andlQr
diagrams are missing. Mr. Kuhta said the figures, graphs and diagrams were in the Qriginal draft which
was created with aprograrn we dan't have, and staff had to take the text out, cvnverk it to Word, and then.
will use the figures in the oa-iginal, so they wi.11 a11 be re-inset-ted. Councilmember Caothmann mentioned.
that the last sentence on page 2 of 5 appears that somefhirag got dropped, and there are a few rnissing
wards in paragraph seven of the last page. Mr. Kuhta said he vvil1 do some cutting and pasting to make
sure the ❑riginal text is repa-esented as Council intends. Mr. Kuhta also surnmarized what is included in
Baok III, such as the intended city actiQns and what the city intends to do to help implement this Plan as
funding becorraes auailable; mentian of future streef netwQrks, and one or twa-way issues, future street
cross-sections, haw they look and function; and said that #hese ean change as conditions chan,ge and we
wi11 get a better idea when we start to improve the streets; adding that the only segment Cauncil included
in the future to change to a twQ-say system is between Dishman Mica and L7niVersity Road; and just to
change the directian of travel, which includes signalization and stripping, is approximately $1.2 million;
and said the full stareet with nevv sidewalks increases to a total af abaut $5.3 million, and alot vf that is
around the City center, but we will consider the cost whe'n we get there.

restructuring the current businesses up to the sidewalk is impractical; uraless the City started with a blank canvas, fihat is nQt economically feasible; she asked abaut snow removal, and said the only area in town
that has the buildings up to the street had a terrible time this winter at Pines and Sprague, wit.h snvw
remava1; that 6usinesses that fail vuQU1d 6e easy for develvpers to snatch up, tear dvwn and start aver; and.

change the lavk to the city withaut a huge expenditure; and she said she will tr-y to get pictures and send
them to cauncit. She aIso asked how does Council expect to pay far this p1an or be a healthy business
climate vvhen tnost of the businesses wvuld be negatively effected; if the 'busanesses went out af business
because they had to ma1ce a1l these arrangements for the streets every 200 feet, most af the homeowners
are not here tmnight, but they are clueless and don't knQw what's gQi.ng on; and she asked if the
b.omeQwners are aware they'd be stuck with the bi11 to pay for thas plan if alat of the businesses fadl
because of the Ioss af tax revenues; and again saiel the sign codc is too restrictive; and she asked what
abaut the people wh4 are on the streets narth and sauth, they don't have any way to have signs far their
busi.nesses, and that the p1anning di:rectvr told her fihaf is a,n aff-prernise sign and is not a~I1Qwed; and she
asked what are we gving to da ~~out that, but she said'~ that vvas never addressed, sa there are pemp~e whQ
are }aeing left out and are tr-ying to pay tax dnllars and CaunciP shauld listen to them; and said she likes to
have her portahle reader board that Marina Sukup said would be okay as long as it was chained to a stake
in the ground; which seemed interesting.
Dick Behm, 9405 E Spraizue. m~mber of the Spokarae Va11ev Busxness Association: said they have been
involved in battles arad planning with Sprague Aven.ue for sixteen years, that Sprague Avenue went to
vne-way, property values clrapped 30-40%;busi:ness values dropped 30%; and the previQUS speaker spake
of pa5sible damages; and if they on1y k~ew what the peaple west of University went thraugh fQr fhe last

warking on this and they support thc p1an and sup;park retuming to two-way; and he said he wauld expect
an immeciiate increase to 20-30% far businesses on Sprague that are prescntly located on the one-vuay;
said that the last thi:rty years his business has been a nQn-cvnfDrrming business ancl they have been.
grandfathered in a.~ it was established in 1932; so they have been there for the last 77 years in that
locatson; anci with the new plan, the restaurant becomes nancanforming; and bei:iig nonconforming for the
last thir-ty years hasn't bathered him at all becau~e they maintain the same busirress; and now that the
restaurant will be nonconforming, he doesn't intend to close it so that daesn't bother him; and he saad he
feels we will wark out these pz-abIems as we gD alang; that people can look to the city and talk to the staff
and vvflrk thase things out; that the ValCey Busine~s Assaciatioa~ not hapgy with the sign cade but said.
he feels they can work through it; and said he believes each member Qf Cauncil is interested tin vvarking
with th.e 6usiness com.munity to solve those problems; and he thanked Council.
Council discussion and cornments i~ncluded mention by Councilanember Gothmann that the City af
Spakane alsa bans off-premise sig~s and that we have had autstandl:ng consultation fa-am the business
community whrch i:ncludes the Chamber of Conrrrnerce, AutoRow, and the Spokane Va1ley Business
AssQCiativn, and most of the businesses are saying to get ft done. Cauncilmember Dempsey said she
ha.sn't li!ked the plan from the beginning, prirmarily because she knew of two Df the places that the
consultant talked abou~ when he gave examples of his work, that he was a mesrnerizing speaker, but she
knew the two cities he mentiQned and she didn't li.ke them at a1.1; she said Cou.ncil has warked hard to try
to make the rough spots in the plan mvre palatable to thQse wha abjected, that there have been many
changes, and she is pleased the changes were made as she feels it wi11 be Qf beilefit to the city, that she is

Councilmember Schimmels said he believes the plan has some good merit, but still feels it is very
presumptuous of us to move east of University as we don't the property as far as Appleway is concerned,
and he would prefer to do this incrementally, and said he doesn't intend to derail the plan, but will not
support it. Mayor Munson said we can't live in the past or we end up re-living the past, and looking at
what has occurred to Sprague for the past eight years or longer, that is not a past he wants to see in the
future; he doesn't want to see property values go down and doesn't want to see Sprague deteriorate as that
is not his vision for the future of this City; and he said he feels the citizens expect Council to be bold and
provide for a future we can all be proud of; that the financing of this plan will take place over many years,
and implementing this and paying for this will be difficult, and things will change and that is what this is
all about; and can we manage the change so we can have some hope that the City of Spokane Valley will
be a better place to live tomorrow then it is today; and on into the future with each year getting better;
said he realizes the plan will change, and added that if Appleway is not resolved by the first of December,
he said he will personally make a motion to revisit the plan and consider removing it and all the
accompanying zoning from the Plan, and to investigate alternatives to Appleway Boulevard. Vote by Acclamation on the f nal amended motion to approve ordinance 09-012 which adopts the
Sprague and Appleway Corridors Subarea Plan, to make the technical changes as outlined by Mr.
Connelly on the sheet received, to exclude from the subarea plan the property owned by Mr. Grafos also
the property next to Mr. Grafos, the music school; to implement the plan October 1, 2009, and to delete
appendix B and renumber the following appendix: In Favor.• Mayor Munson, Deputy Mayor Denenny,
and Councilmembers Taylor, Gothmann and Wilhite. Opposed.• Councilmembers Dempsey and
Schimmels. Abstentions: None. Motion passed.
2. Second Reading Proposed Ordinance 09-013 Amending Comp Plan Map - Mike Connellv
It wus moved by Councilmember Wilhite and seconded to approve Ordinance 09-013 amending the
Comprehensive Plan Map. City Attorney Connelly explained that this is the companion ordinance to the
subarea plan just voted on, and amends the map to be in conformance and consistent with the plan, and
said there have been no technical amendments. Mayor Munson invited public comment. Philip Rudv,
5647 Fruithill, said if the Sprague underpass occurred, it could tie together the University City area with
the twelve acres north of it which are bounded by Herald, Main, Belfour and Sprague; and by doing that
you would have twelve acres that could have a very good ambiance where you could put the City Hall,
perhaps the library, keep the open space or use the twelve acres for a park, and it would allow for a 1250
foot length of road running from Main to Appleway, which is a north/south direction; and said if he recalls, the Consultant said a 1200 foot street is an ideal street for a city center. Mayor Munson said
Council will consider these ideas. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor Mayor Munson, Depury Mayor
Denenny, and Councilmembers Taylor, Gothmann, Wilhite and Schimmels. Opposed: Councilmember
Dempsey. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
3. Prot)osed Resolution 09-008 Applewav Boulevard - Mike Connellv
It was moved by Councilmember Taylor and seconded to adopt Resolution 09-008. City Attorney
Connelly said that this topic has been under discussion for several years; the extension has been an
integral part of planning and future corridor expansion; that issues like traffic impact, concurrency, and
rapid transit; that we have been unsuccessful in negotiations with Spokane County and seem to get
circular in proposals; the intent is to stop the circular negotiations and sit down and try to resolve what all
parties feel are goals of City, the County, and STA (Spokane Transit Authority); and said this proposed
formal procedure would require all parties to discuss common objectives and come to resolution; adding
it would also require the identification of specific staff inembers to the negotiation pariy. Mayor Munson
asked if there are any pre-conditions, and Mr. Connelly confirmed there are none and said the mediation
is not binding; and in response to Councilmember Dempsey's question is STA obligated to respond
positively, Mr. Connelly added that this is an action by this Council and reguests the County and STA to
address the same issue, but their actions are up to them. Mayor Munson said three weeks ago he gave the

Munsan asked about item six, the "BrQadway Avenue 5afety Project, Pin.es (SR-27) ta Park" and a-sked
vvhat the cosx would be if vnly the ,E1DA irnpravements were done, ana whether we would still be able to
receive some of the federal grant maney. Mr. 'wV'orley said mast Iikely nat; that TIP is state-funded rather
than federally funded; and the main part of khe prQject is the safety improue:rnent Qf re-striPping; that the
ADA and sidewalk are typically required for any project TIB does, the re-striping is the main part. Mayar
MunsQn invited public cvmment; no comments were offered. Mayor Munsan said he is not cQnvznced we
will achieve what we want by changing the stxipping, and therefore moved, seconded by Councilrnember
Dempsey, to amend the matiQn to strike #6frorn t~e TIP. Councilmepnber Goth:mann voiced his abjectron

- conversion. Mayar Mu:nson said if th.e xe-stripping won't achieve what we want i.t to, then 'at is not causing
a big difference and w"hy spend the money; adding that he hasn't seen any evid.ence that the $187,000 is
we11 spent, but fee~s the ADA impravements are necessary and would like ta find sarrre w~~ to do that..
Deputy Mayar Denenny rnentianed that previausly ~eople had cammented changing to three lanes would
make ~t rr~are di~cult g ~n and c~ut of dri~rewaYs, but t~ze dat~z shc~°~s '1ust the apPosite. Mr. Wr~rle~"

mentioned that sinee we received i:nformation an this grant, there isn't tirne to evaluate that area fiarther
and we have ta decide vvhether or nat to mave forward; that same vf the stati.stics may haUe been affected

Nir. Worley said that staff recam:mends mouing for-ward witb this safety praject ta try tv reduce sor~~ of
the cQ11isions. Attorney ConneIly added that when maki.ng a decision about tr~ffi.c safety, Co'u:ncil needs
to give a substantial. d.egree to tfie experts as ta what is safe and what isn't because if he needs to clefend.
the City against an action if someane gets hurt, it is bes~ if that actian was done relying on those qualified.
to make the decision deemed to be most safe. CounciI.m.~~~~r Dempsey mentioned that faur lanes is a.
safety issue and she avoids Broadway east mf Pines as it is not an easy road travel; that ~ike lanes don't.
make it easier to traveI and since she's been living an Sergeant Road, it appears the bikes 1anes are not
used very much and feels we cou:ld get better safety results from intersections by havircg Ieft-tu:rns instead
af through t1ie re-stripping and taking away a lane in each direct~on; and she mentinned there is no access

woraderful, and even aid with the chx.ldXe:n walking ta school as sometimes they would waTk in the curb,
and having a bike lane would preverrt the;m from walking right next to traffic. MayQr Munson sa:id he sees

, whic,h information we did nat haue in the past; and to think that we should not analyze contracts to make
_ sure that we are not paying twice for the same itern would be a fiduciary irrespansible act on the part af
the Council.
Councilrnember Tavlor then asked City Manager Mercier several questions:
1. Can yau let us knavv how much maney has the City Prvvided for law enforcement services since 2003?
Answer: Mr. Mercier said he does nat have an accurate number tQday, bt.rt our contracts currently have
budgeted about $16 mil1ian for 2009, and there wer'e lesser amounts in previous years, but aIl were ouer
$ 10 million a year, fQr each ofthe previvus years.
2. Sa we axe 1QOking at prgbably somewhere in the real.m of $70 to $75 million,
Answer: Yes, thereabvut.
3. And the cost of this Rarticular financial forensics accaunti:ng?
Answer: We spent app~oximately $24,004 vra expert review.
Cauncilmember Cothmanra: said thaf part of the process is, that it is a very 1ogical process listed in fhe
contract; and if there is a dispute, ane party turns to the athex and says there is a dispute and here's nrty
figures; and the other party then says, weli, let me look at my figures; and they gather their fgdires; and
the one party then says, well, Iet rne double check my f gures and make sure they're okay; and then they
exchange information, and that's what the contract is felli:ng us to da, and that is exactly what we're
doing; and once both parties have exchanged infarmatiarr, and we still haaen't dane that yet because we
dan't have the infflrmation fram the Auditor, then they get together and they can either agree or disagree;
and if they disagree, they can say, you knQw what, what we really need is a mediator to get `rn here and
help us reach an agreement; ancl _they're doing exactly what the contract says and exactly what is a logical.
manner in which people resalve disputes; so far us to c1a othe3-wise, as was said, vn at least $90 millian af
expenditures in the Sheriffs office, far us to spend'$20,004 an a $90 million expenditure to make sure
~
that it is accurate, and to rraake sure that we provide the county with. accurate infonmation, is to me
perfectly reasonable.
Councitmember 5chimrnels: said we haue claims regarding this and we haWe counterclaims; evidently vve
dan't have anyone in this room at this point that can deGisively say that it is this ar it is that, but I'm
happy for the situation here that at least we are paying aur way at this point, and vve do not cause a tatai
breach Qf that cantract.
ounci rnem er Tau o,r sai e wrs e e could e as confident i:n the analysis fram the State Auditar's
of~'rce as perhaps the other pai-ky to this cantract is; and said unfoa-tunately we haVe nat seen the dafa to
back up the claims that were made; and he said he is reluctantly agreeing to doing this; and said he thinks
we are owed the data and the repoit so we can analyze theix analysis because fram the little data that he
has seen, the City's Financial Farensics team has dane a yeoman's jab and we received arespanse from the A,uditor's Office with a three-page management 1etter; and he said he doesn't think the numbers add up .
and he then asked Gity Manager Mercier seVeral further questions:
1. When did we notifiy the County vf this dispute?

5. 5o there has been no real direct response to the Financial Fvrensics report in terms of this dispute that we do have with the contract amount that's in dispute, so it was part of the County's annual state audit,
suCh as we have an annual state audit, sa this was kXnd of aminor portion of the particular audit that was
canducted there; so I'm just trying to campare the level of analysis that was conducted. Answer: Mr, Mercier said correct; that we as cDUncil have falecl for a public records request af the State
Auclitor's office so that we can obtain the copy of detail infarmation that wauld be useful far purpases vf
aur analytical review; and all af the nnateraals that fvrmed the basis upon which they issued the letter of
conclusion this past week; and said he wanted fa correct his earlier statement, the f rst request in the first
yuestion was really March of 2007, which is when we nQtified the Caunty of what we thought was a
substantial issue with billing.
6. And where there any times that we had our consultants, or tried to hawe our consultants meet with the
Caunty C❑mmissioners, or vvith the County executive staff to perhaps go vver this information to perhaps
try to came to a meeting of the minds?
Answer: Mr. 1Vlercier said yes, the fi:rst offer of aGCess to the City's Forensics Accountants was made in
I]ecember of 2008, and a subsequent one vvas made as well.
7. And did the Caunty meet with them?
Ansvver; Mr. Mercier said no; the City exteraded an offer for the Forensics Consultant~ to be made
available for questioning by Caunty representatiues so that the Caunty would have an opportunity to
thoroughly understarad the wark of the Forensics Accauntants.
8. But those affers were decXined?
Answer: Mr. Mercier said they were not taken up; that's correct.
CQUncilanember Tavlor said given these particular facts, we haVe gone the extra mile in trying to settle
this dispute before it's came to any particular climax as we've seen; and said he thinks the actian being
taken today is extremely magnanimous and is one that he hopes will go a long way with the County in
tryfng to settle this dispute, and other disputes; but said he thinks this is very important that we get these facts out an the table, and noted that when we do hawe a dispute, vve don't run to the media ❑r try to
dispute this in the media, he said we tary to get things resvlved in an even-handed manner without
surprises; sa today he said he wi11 support this but does so reluctantly, but believes the City will be right
irr the end.
Cauncilmem6er Dempsev said that she supparted the withholding of funds for this disputed amaunt of
money because she felt it was the righx thing to do; and said she also supports the payrnent novv on the
contingency that we are nQt admitting that we owe this money, but we want to rrrove an, we want to get
on vvith things and we want to establish rapport with the Count}r whereas right now we seem to haVe like
a hus6ancl and a wife wha are in the rniddle af divorce proceedings; na rnatter what yau say, it's the
wrong thing; and we wa.nt to make it the right thing and we want to deal with the Caunty in an upfront
and righteaus manner; and said she thinks this is the way to handle it at this point,
Mavor Munson: said he would Iike to acknawledge a.nd tha:nk 1VIr. Mrelke, Mr, Emacio, and Mr. Farnell
for coming th,is morning on such shart notice, and a1sQ Sheriff Kriezovich; and he said that he called each
of them, and saw Sheriff Knezovich yesterday afternovn and inVited them personally, along with Mr.
Mielke's colleagues; and said that the County Commissipners have killer schedules and said we truly
appreciate theam being able to break loase at a time like this and attend. Mayor Munson said that the
Caunty and the +City really do get a1ong pretty well mast gf the time; t,hat we have seventeen cnntracts that
we deal with them; and there are afew times when even the best Qf friends don't agree; and this is one of
thase times; and said he personally feels t,he rhetvric has gotten ❑ut of hand, and was unnecessary and was
nat helpful in moving this fQr:ward, hut said that's behind us naw; and said we must move forward and.
attempt to settle this in the most amicable way we can; and said that this motion we are considering taday
is a positive step in that direction; he said the City will attempt to keep it as this level and to provide the ~
public with as much xnformation as we can as to what we're doing, he said he has written a couple

bath levels of data side-by-side, and then come to a logical canclusian as to vvho's rfght. Mayor Munson
said that we have asked, he believes it was in early 2008, for mediation to take place; and he said the
County has refused; and he said he hopes that after vve receive the State infonnation that they used to
maike their detea-mi:nation in their audit, that we will be abie to go forward without mediation, but if vve can't , then we'd like the Caunt-y to follow the contract and agree to mediatian; and he said we dorr't think
we're aslcing far too much; and after we haVe vated on this, he said he wiil describe what they eonsider to
be the next steps for this process.
Councilmemher Gathmann: cvmmen~ed that this in no way reflects on fhe outstanding searvice the
Shexxffs Qffice and his staff give us in police service; and said he fee1s everyone would agree that we
really appreciate his service and that we think heys doing an autstanding job; that this is a contract dispute
with the County and in na way has any reflection or should it ref1ect on the autstanding job that the
sheriff is doing and our police chief and aur police force. Mayor NTunson said he feels Cfluncil all agrees
with that.

Mayor Munson then read the fQllawing prQcedure that he, s~aff and he believes Council have discussed
a.nd feel are the next steps fox the resalution of this misunderstanding:
We received a cvpy vf fihe draft Management Letter written by the Washington 5tate Auditrr's
Office, which did not contain any backup data or supparting materiai for how the Auditar's Offce
reached the concIusions it did. The City is now essentially in a discvvery process to deterrnine the bases
far the Auditar's letter.
-As part af the discavery process, vn ,Tune 16, 2009, the City made a public record req,ue5t pursuant to
RCVV 42.56 to the Washingtan 5tate Auditor requesting cQpies of each and every document relied upon
in reaching the findings and conclusians as represented in the Management Letter. We have requested
the assistance ❑f Spokane County in encouraging the Aud:itvr's C]ffice in an attempt af expediting the
arriuai vf these documents: (and Mayvr Munson mentianed that accarding to comments made by tfie '
Cvunty, they have done that).
-Once we receive that documentatimn, we will immediately tum it over to our ftnancial expert,.
FinanciaP Forensics, to consider in relation to their prior analysis to defiermirte vvhether it causes them to
amend their prior opinian. .
- After Financiai Forensics has reuiewed and considered #he Auditar"s background dafa, they will meet
wath the representatives of the Auditor's (Jffice who grepared and issued the Maraagement Letter to see if
they can reconcfle rernaining differences, if any. This was encouraged by the Baard af Cauniy
Camrrnissianers as well.
Fallowing the aneeting between Financiai Forensics and the State Auditvr's dffce, Financiai
_ Forensics will prvvide a public presentation to the Council and crur i:nterested citizens regardirag their
vpinion, and the data they relied upon in reaching it.

- In the event the City and County still do not agree on a resolution, the City should request use of the
mediation process provided for in the contract."
Mayor Munson said we think this is an orderly and objective way to proceed; that we don't want to
surprise anybody as we go through these steps, and that's one of the reasons why we've asked everybody
to be here this morning so you can understand what we're moving forward on. Mayor Munson opened
the floor questions or comments from anyone in the room.
Commissioner Mielke: he thanked Mayor and Council for the invitation to attend, and apologized for
running late, stating it probably is a good sign we have road construction projects that are well under way
and the flaggers are out there in force. He said he wanted to first applaud Council on the actions they are
taking today; and to reinforce the statement made earlier that we have a number of agreements that exist
between the City of Spokane Valley and Spokane County, and he said he thinks they work hard to make
those work to the benefits of the residents of this region and occasionally, they do have the issue of
interpreting the contracts as they are stated; and said they work through those hopefully in an orderly
process. He said he feels the issue for them is a couple of things: when there is a mountain of dispute
they do go back and they look at the contract; and the first issue from Spokane County's perspective is,
they don't believe there is anything in the contract that allows the withholding of funds in lieu or
mediation or until mediation takes place, and he said they believe the contract states very clearly you
establish the amount, divide it by twelve, it's a monthly payment, and if you disagree with that it goes
into mediation, but there is nothing in the language of the contract that allows for withholding of the
payment amount, and he said he thinks that is what created a problem with regard to cash flow for
Spokane County in a cumulative amount, and also as they look at 2010 the potential of more than twenty
positions being lost at Spokane County if that cash flow isn't restored; and he said obviously they are
very concerned in these economic times with any layoffs in any jurisdictions as these are people's
livelihoods, and is their way of supporting their family. He said that was the first point, that they wanted .
to get past this whole issue about withholding payment, as they don't believe it is in the contract, and the '
other question is, what is the withholding based upon. He said the second issue is an important one, and
that is they can go through this whole issue about hiring experts, and he said they certainly didn't want to
get into a situation where "my expert is better than yours;" as he said he doesn't know if that really comes
to a good solution in a short period of time; so what they chose to do is to go through the one agency seen
as a neutral arbitrator of public finance in the state, the State Auditor's Office; that looks at both cities and
counties across the state and determines whether their financial practices are accurate or not; and so yes,
he said they did receive the City's information in December, and they assumed that shortly thereafter they
would be receiving the information from the State Auditor's Office and could get folks together to
compare those notes; and he said obviously the State Auditor's Office was not prepared to release any
information to anyone right about the first of the year when the County anticipated that information.
Commissioner Mielke stated that they do have another issue in this contract that at some point they need
to address; he said as the contract currently says is the only way to amend the contract is by mutual
consent; and right now what the contract says is that under this formula, Spokane Valley is locked in at
paying 42% of law enforcement services regardless of whether it really is 42% or not; and if that is
broken down into different components, whether for canine, patrol, or forensics, there are some cases
where it is probably higher, and some cases where it is probably lower then the 42%, so at some point he
said they would like to ask for the City's commitment to go back and take a look at amending the contract
without putting any jurisdiction into the position of having to serve notice to cancel the contract just to get
the contract amended; and said he thinks the best way to do that is to go through it while we have a
contact in effect and there is no disruption of services and to make sure we get it right and to make sure
that Spokane Valley is not over or under paying.
Mayor Munson said that he believes that is in the contract that we can re-negotiate at the end of each year;
and Commissioner Mielke said he believes it has to be by mutual consent; and if either party decides not

to engage in that negatiation, the other side is stuck; and he said he guesses that is ane of the things they
witl be asking is for Spokane Valley to agree #hat we want to go in and make sure it is right, and negatiate
an amendment to xhe cvntract that clarifies some ❑f these ambiguities in the Ianguage. Mayor Munsan.
said he believes that tae record shavvs that both sides have said they are willing t4 go intQ nevv contract
negmtiations; and Cammissianer Mie1ke said "terrific" and okay, and fu:rther stiated #hat the last point that
he wanted to riaake is the whole notion of how this has unfalded and the issue of inediation; and said we
still have some disagreement with vvhat is subject to mediation and what is nQt; h~ said he believes tkae
formula itself is stated in the cantzact, and that is n4t subject fia rriediatian; the arnounts you plug inta the
formula, he said, he believes are, ana the question is whether the farmula is accurate or not; and whether
it should include certain averhead costs; and sa they continue to ta1ce an issue with regard to whethex the
issues raised by Spokane Va11ey are a1l subject to mediation or not, ar whether the caratract as the cantract;
and whether it is or is nat well written in certain areas, he said he thinks that begs the question of going
back and trying to amend the cantract, and bring svme clarity with regard to the verbiage, much af which
was negotiated before sorne af us were in affice; and said that as they go back and Ioak at the language,
and ask wha~ was rneant by that or this; and irr ciosing, he said he vvanted to take issue with regard to
same vf the comments made by CQUncilman Taylar, and that is that they have been unwilling to respand.
He said tha't vvhen they were first made aware of this notice and they asked to srt dawn elected afficials to
elccted officials, they were tvId that Spokane Va11ey was hiring a cansultant to laok thrQUgh the numbers,
and were not prepared to sit down to do tha#; so that was the irst issue and he said they waited far that.
Cauncilmernber Taylor said in respanse, in dealing with disputes aver contracts, elected afficials in the
. County's form caf gavernment da nat sit down vvith elected officiais in the City's form of governanent,
they instead sit down with the +City Manager and staff. Commissioner MieIke responded that at the end of
~ the day, as ari elected afficia1, Coun.ciimember Taylor gets to determine the leve1 of services and how
staff carr°ies out the duties of Spokane Valley; and he said he thinks the vvters of Spokarre Valley expect
them to do that; and he said to CQUncilmember Tay1ar, I think the issue that yau raise is when you say we
- never responded, Commissioner Mielke said they had a joint meeting; between clected offcials `tn
February that Cuuncilmember Ta.ylor did nat attend; and they very specif ca11y brought this topic up,
talked about tkaeir con.cems abaut the methodolQgy; hovv to ga farward, and they sent a fo1law-up leiter;
so for Councilmember Tayl.or to say there is no response ever for a meeting that he did nvt attend,
Commissioner Mielke said h.e feeis is irraccurate; and he asked that Councitrrrernber Taylor make sure
ahQut what is said at meetings tihat he aid nat attend in a1l fairness to those that did. Commissioner Mielke
said that he is very happy to be moving forward, and he feels it is for the best interests af a11 the residents
of this region; they want to make sure that seavices aare as seamless as passible; and that those searwices are
provided in the best way; and when there is a conf7iet, that they find the best way to resolve those ccanflicts; and said he is confident we are mQVing forward in trying to do that; and said he feels the next
step is to get the State Auditor's backup ciata; that boxh entities have requested that informatian and said
he knows there has been dialogue betwcei1 Financial Farensics and the State Auditor by phone as they
both went through this process; and said it prabably is time to get tihase twa entities tagether and discuss
their reports and determine the best way to mave forward and resalwe this issue ance and far all; and said
then perhaps we can moue into a dialogue about any amendments to Glarify ambiguit`res that cua-rently
exist in the contract.
Mayor Munson said he wanted to make it clear that this Council is nvt gQ'tng to do the negotiations as tha:t
is tfie respQnsibility of staff; and Council's job is to approve or disaPprave the outcome. CQrnmissioner
Mielke acknowledged that and said at same point we haue to talk abQUt these issues; beca;use he said that
he believes every one af the staff ultimately reporks to Council to determine whether the respanse is
timely and whether we are moving issues forward; and going back to Mr. Taylor's comments;
Comrnissianer Mielke said he has now asked three times for this tQpic to be on the agenda for a joint
, maeeting betrveen eleeted offrcials because he beIieves 1aw enforcement is Qne of the mQSt basic functions
af your 1aca1 government; and three times he has been denied to have that an the a,genda; and he said that

this is the first time really, as elected off cia1s, we have been able to discuss this topic other then the
February meeting where it wasn't allowed on the agenda buti they discussed it anyvvay. Councilmember
Taylor stated that he believes that this Council has been very clear that they are not going to negatiate
contracts ar negotiate cantract disputes at a public meeting as that is the respQnsibility ❑f our staff under
the CDUncillManager fQrm af government, the RCW's at°e vety clear about whv has responsiaility vf
. negotiating and executing contracts and that Council approves or disappraves the negotiated terms,
Cammissianer Mielke said he understands and he said that the City Manager warks at the pleasure vf
Councxl. Councilmember Taytor said that is correct, and if council dvesn't agree witih what he does, then
they have the vptian to have him vvork or not vvork at Counci1's pleasure; and Commissioner Mielke said
and that is his point. Gauncilmeinber Taylor further said that Council still approves the outcame, and if
Council doesn't like the vutcome, they disapprove it and it goes back tQ the tab1e. Mayor Munsan said
that he guarantees tQ Mr. Mielke that Council wiIt nQt discuss whether they will hire or fire fihe Czty
Manager with fhe County i:n apubYic meeting. Commissioner Mielke said that is nat his intent; but that
his issue is whether the approach made by the City's jurisdictiQn is apprvpriate in Council's eyes as
deemed by Cfluncil's cQnstituents. Councilmer.nber Taylor said he feels the RCW is Very cXear, and Mr.
Mielke said he is well aware of the RCW; and he thanked Council for this opportu:nity and said he is glaci
we are rnaving farward and he looks for resalution to this issue. -
Mlayor Munson opened the floor for question a.nd answer, including from members of th,e press.
Ciordan Currv, [14313 E Trent Avenue] said he has been around the valley for alang ti:rrae, said that it
seems to him that an entity af the valley ar the caunty cauld afford to hire a persQn that has the capabiliry
mf making a decision without having to go aut and hire experks tv do the work we are probabIy paying good wages to sarneane ta make those decis'tatas; a.nd he said that it seems ta him that ever-y time an
important Yssue comes up, the entities go out a.nd hire experts ta give them the correct. stuff; and said h,e
thinks maybe we hav e people an board that are very capable of making those decisxvns, and said he ~
would hope that we would trust the people we hire and pay gflvd wages tQ, tv make fihese decisiorrs.
There being no further carnments vr questions, Mayor Munson again thanked everyone for coming Qn.
